Five have been won by the team batting first.

3 KKR and the Royals have been involved in three Super Overs, the most among teams in the IPL. Two of those matches were against each other - in Cape Town in 2009 and in Abu Dhabi in 2014. Royals won both.

2 Bowlers who have bowled in the Super Over more than once in the IPL - Jasprit Bumrah and James Faulkner. The six runs he conceded to the Gujarat Lions in 2017 is the lowest overall in a Super Over (he equalled Mitchell Johnson's 2015 record) while the eight he conceded to the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2019 is the lowest scored in a Super Over when batting first. Mumbai won both matches.
